"Final Crisis", and I would say it's not even close if "Secret Wars" by Hickman and Ribic didn't exist. The final twilight of the superhero. The ultimate war of creation vs the void. Hope vs Despair. Imagination vs Cynicism. Ink vs the blank page. "He wished for a happy ending, Weeja Dell."
What’s your favorite event comic of all time? ⚡️
I can't believe Wolverine never tried to get with Colleen Wing when she is (1) Asian, (2) good at martial arts, (3) a natural redhead, and (4) dated Scott Summers.
“What a weary time those years were -- to have the desire and the need to live but not the ability.” How I've been feeling about my ability to both write comics and about comics haha I should be better, damnit! Gah!
This short run is so good. One of my favorite Supergirl runs
#Comics Supergirl vol. 5 #31 Published July 2008 by DC Comics
Reread the incredible "Aliens vs Avengers" by Hickman/@esadribicart.bsky.social Amazing little tale, most ambitious (and dare I say important) crossover comic since "WildC.A.T.s/Aliens" Almost like a coda for Hickman's runs in "Avengers" and "X-Men". Another tale of the struggle against creators
I NEED THIS!! The early masterpiece written by my favorite writter alongside their first partner in "The Invisibles" of all things????? I NEED IT SO BAD!!

Finally got a copy of my cover for the Hello Kitty and Friends comic!!! 🥹💖 A lot of people ask me if it's digital but I actually painted the original art traditionally with gouache! 💖 I had to paint in a much bigger paper to draw all the little details of the map! 💖🥰🌈 Hope you guys like it too! 💖

Who are your favorite comic book writers?
Psylocke (when are we gonna drop the "W" and just called her "Kannon" like the goddess, Marvel?) and it's not even close, for me
Answer the question. Hottest X-Men characters. Villains are on the table.
As someone who can't (or doesn't want or doesn't have quite the patience) to draw, I still tried to do whatever I could for my little comics, and that included the lettering I'm very basic, but the moments I spent at a cafe lettering my little stories were some of my happiest. Long live lettering!
Happy Letterer Appreciation Day!
Re-reading Hickman’s “Avengers.” Incredible run. I love that Hank Pym was like, “Hey, guys! You left me out of your super genius mass murder club!” And Reed and Tony respond, “Sure, buddy! We got important work for you. Over here. On the other side of the multiverse.” (New Avengers #29.)
Beginning a reread of the amazing "Green Lantern" run by Grant Morrison and Liam Sharpe There's something very sweet and melancholic about Morrison using Hal Jordan, a man stuck on Earth but dreaming of other worlds, as their avatar in their final DC tale, an examination of their nostalgia

"You know, we're all aliens. Just depends which planet you're standing on." Really loved the Pilot for "Lanterns". Excellently paced, beautifully written and acted. Set up for many incredible questions and themes. Can't wait for next week!
Recent commission -always fun drawing Chuck Taine aka Bouncing Boy!!!
Does "Infinity War" counts? Do people still love it? No joke, I left the cinema feeling existential panic (yes, I am dramatic, why do you ask?) that this big blockbuster everyone loved was a story about... absolutely nothing but itself. Nothing matters. IP ouroboros.
Whats a movie everyone fucking loves that you despise? It doesnt have to be objectively bad, you just objectively DID NOT. Heres one for me since Ive been on a Barbara Loden kick lately-
The Bendis work at DC is curious because, like his later work at Marvel, most of it feels like a separate continuity But from all his DC stories, "Event Leviathan" might be the most fascinating It's such a strange story. Something that should be a HUGE DEAL but has no impact outside itself
